This storybook app is a collection of titles based on Disney animated classics. The initial app comes with three titles (Monsters Inc., Tangled & Toy Story). Each book is a basic retelling of the plot of the movie with little embellishment. There is nice narration (with highlighting), music and recordable narration options, along with other easy-to-use settings, although page guides would be a nice addition. Children will enjoy their favorite movies in book form, but don't expect lots of bells & whistles. There is no animation, extras and only very limited interactive sound effects, which can be turned off in the settings menu. Note: Contains ads & links for in-app purchase of additional 'credits' that children can use to buy more books in the collection.
